Nanostructured Thin Films and Coatings: Mechanical Properties
Sam Zhang
Nanyang Technological University
DescriptionThe first volume in the Handbook of Nanosctructured Thin Films and Coatings set, this book concentrates on the mechanical properties such as hardness, toughness, and adhesion, of thin films and coatings. It discusses processing, properties, and performance, and provides a detailed analysis of theories and size effects. The book presents the fundamentals of hard and superhard nanocomposites and heterostructures, assesses fracture toughness and interfacial adhesion strength of thin films and hard nanocomposite coatings, and covers the processing and mechanical properties of hybrid sol-gel derived nanocomposite coatings. It also uses nanomechanics to optimize coatings for cutting tools and explores various other coatings, such as diamond, metal-containing amorphous carbon nanostructured, and transition metal nitride-based nanolayered multilayer coatings. |
